Vitamin C60 BioResearch Corporation whose research on the antioxidant activities of fullerene led to two break-through ingredients for the personal care industry. Fullerene on its own is insoluble in water and thus not an ideal ingredient for personal care applications. Vitamin C60 BioResearch Corporation found a way around that by encasing fullerene in water-soluble polymers. The result was Radical Sponge™ for water-based solutions and a few years later LipoFullerene™ for oil-based solutions.
